Ask Tatooine Ruug'la Ga'yusr

[Van'Aria Solus]

"I have yet to meet a person willing to test my resolve."

She retorted to the comment about Jawa's, he was right at first they had tried to deceive her... until one of them found themselves in a very painful place, one that would be remembered to the end of their days.

As they came to a halt she slowly disembarked the bike by sliding off its side dropping heavily into the Sand with her feet, one step after another she observed their surroundings very carefully, it was not because she was wary but rather because it gave her time to think, to think on words spoken and those about to be exchanged.

"If we are to scour these Sands with our Hands we will be here for a century."

She would note but it could not be the reason why he searched the Sands, whilst she understood exactly what he was looking for she had no interest in it, her mind were on other things just up until he started speaking of History, she nodded to herself, she had heard much of this afore, it was part of her duty to know the past of Mandalore and its people but not all is recorded so even now she listened, comprehended and did so with utmost reverence.

"Mandalore has forgotton what it once was, a thriving Empire one ruled with integrity and wisdom against a common enemy of our People, we were driven by Leaders worth following, today I cannot say the same no more, one after another steps to the plate laying claim to the leadership of our people, but not one of them has honored the ancient traditions, not one of them has endeavored to return things for the Mandalorian people, no it had always bin for their own gain disregarding the losses in the way.

She looked upon him as he searched the Sands before then turning her body to face the Sun, her hands folding behind her back she spoke once more.

"Redemption exists for every Mandalorian aslong as his Heart beats for Mandalore. I would not see one of ours be cast aside for a different ideal or a different opinion, we are a Ideology, a Example, our Unity is our greatest strength and as of current we are fractured, weak."

The bitterness of those words remained on her tongue, she meant those words and the fact that they touched her so made it all the more apparent that she would not stop until she found a way to change things, and start she would by restoring History in her search for one of the most sacred of Mandalores Artifacts.

"I will find this Saber with you, I will allow you to build what you must, atone how you wish, and then I shall begin mending Mandalore."

Those words... they were ambitious but... serious, there was not a doubt in her words, she would run her body into the ground persuing her Vision, it was when he threw a water shell towards her that she moved for once, catching it with both her hands, she was not thirsty... but she would store it away for later use.

"A Century?" He'd hum slightly as he looked out over the dunes, "Those water shells are to negotiate passage into the Junland Wastes, we don't have the luxoury of hundreds of years, but the Tusken people have been here for thousands. They will point us to where we must go, their people speak of legends and myths of Dark Gods, streaks of light and magic. Wizards and Sorcerers as you and I know them by, Jedi..Sith."

He made his way back to his bike and readied to depart with her in tow. "Is it a failing of the teachers or the teachers themselves?" He'd ask as they swept through the dunes and onwards towards the canyons that etched in the horizon. "If so many leaders have failed to live to the way, then perhaps there is something fundamentally flawed in the way our people have come to view our culture. We must not strive for old ways, but forge a new path. Only then, will the next Mand'alor create something that can be remembered."

He turned back to her and gave a nod at the idea of rebuilding Mandalore, defenses, buffer states, all such things would need to exist, the galaxy saw their people as rabid dogs, and they could be if the wrong people lead them. It was the duty of himself and Aria, and any other true Mandalorian, to rebuild something greater than themselves. "For the Foundlings, this is the way..."

He turned his head forward and throttled the engine as they came screaming into the red canyons that spiraled into the blue skies. Smoke could be seen in the distant, along with speckled flames and obscure figures moving about the tops of the canyons that looked down upon the valley they found themselves in. "They're watching us...most likely reporting it back to their camps. I believe the Hutts operate out of these parts still, and their thugs are not fond of the natives."

"You underestimate the depths of knowledge hidden within me."

She spoke these words with both mysterious dread in her voice aswell as sagely wisdom, it was hard to pierce the veil of her emotion and how far she could reach with her words, doubt was easy to form, trust even harder but one thing was for certain, she did not mince words and each single word she spoke was meticulously crafted afore she spoke it, it was a curious thing to taste every word as if it was as dangerous as a Weapon.

"Failure is a necessary part of Evolution. Our People have failed again and again, it is that many not understand that Mandalorians you cannot kill, you cannot erase, we are a Idea. And Ideas you cannot erase."

Her eyes were deadset on their goal, even through the visor he could feel how cold that gaze was, it was as if she had no use for any other distractions, she spoke simply in her own interest and once letting it roll in ones head it was frightening, she was a Woman utterly devoted with naught to lose and only to gain, she cared not about how to rebuild, she cared about history because that is where Mandalorians thrived, in unity they were a force that made even Coruscant tremble.

"In order to return to former glory, we must return structure to what is broken, return what was once stolen and choose rightously, and we will start with Independence."

She said those words with zealous purpose behind her tone her right hand digging deep into his shoulder only reinforcing those words, her eyes then scanned their surroundings affirming his words but it was not something that bothered her, it was not the first time she had done business with the Sand-People.

"You however, must know where your loyalties lie, because when the time comes you will have to choose between your horns... and me." She gave his shoulder a idle pat. "Do not think I forget your intentions, but be sure that when you make that claim, you must be certain that you will become Mandalorian. And that means leaving your old master behind."
